I offer my highest praises to photographer Melina Mara for her expertly timed and framed, snort-coffee-out-your-nose photograph of the self-proclaimed congressional leadership for “tax reform” [front page, Sept. 28]. Mara should be encouraged to provide material for a weekly caption competition. I’d suggest, “One guy you want in your wallet, and seven you don’t” for this one. But I’m sure readers would find this picture and more like it fertile ground for a wide range of humorous responses.

That's a pretty hard one to beat. How about "One guy who can't tell a lie, and seven who can't tell the truth."
